SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. ThCCase of the Anglo-Mexican Mining Association is now before the public, and may be considered as illustrat ing, in a conspicuous and impressive manner, the inherent vices of most joint-stockecompany undertakings. There is no fraud complained of in this Company or its Direc tors :.great respectability—great zeal, we , doubt not, for the general good—a large capital—a rich and recognized field for the application of it; yet, although two years and more have elapsed since this Company was first:esta blished, and although, on every principle of commercial calculation, some return ought ere now to have accrued from its enormouS outlay, we 'find that the /oss admitted by the Directors' exceeds hall a million sterling. It was about six months ago that we foretold , this unfortunate result to most of the adventures which had for their ob ject the working of the mines of , Mexico, by companies stationed in Europe. We grieve that the foreboding has been verified, so extensively end so soon. Extravagance, and ate atfeetation of grandeor, are imputed by some to tins disappointed Company, as its besetting follies. The propriefors evince so little satisfaetion with the conduct of the_directors, though no suspicion of them, that of the Whole number of 10,000 shareholders, 4,000 have de clined to Pay the lust " call" to meet the current expences. Many shareholders must of course be disqualified by thi!- refusal, und the directors acknoWledge that it will be un avoidable to raise an additional 150,0001. from some new capitalist, or to drop the purpOses of the undertaking. Ii the ComMercial crisis be alleged by these gentlemen as the real cause Of the failure of their enterprise, it would have;Aiffected others in a proportionate degree ; but we have not heard of any company whose shares are depre dated to the extent of .5-tiths on an enormous capital, applied to schemes in distant countries, merely because of a convulsion in the currency or industry of Great :Britain. The ", commercial crisis" is a convenient stalking horse, and has been mounted by. many a luckless dabbler in pro jects for which, they were unfit. But are there in this ease no other causes? Have they not spread their opera tions too largely, and spent the4r funds too profusely ? Was this Company satisfied to pay no higher wages than the Spaniards, who worked their mines to good profit, had paid, before this . Anglo-Association was hatched ? Ought a huge body of directors to have been kept rip, whoa(' salaries alone absorbed 2,4001. per ann. and this before a single dollar had been extracted from the mine? And see what deplorable consequences are to follow :.,the Eng lish .capitalist clears away the obstructions, brings the mine . into working condition, and then, having spent his entire capital, withdraws with execrations on South Ame. rica 140 her unproductive mountains, while the wary Mexican watches the ; progress of his toil, and the moment of his despairing! flight, seizes the prey which had dropped from him untested, and laughs ut the eccentricities of " enliglit end Europe."—Titnex, Mr. tioe,one of the Police Magistrates of Marlborough street, has thought fit, in the plenitude of his power, to expel, our reporter from that oilier. No reason was as signed for this arbitrary conduct. Such haughty and im peritues proeeedings may do for the laud of Turkey, but this Magistrate is mistaken if he thinks that they Will be approved of here, or that a pollee Magistrate, even though shielded by the dignity of the bench, may brave public opinion with impunity. Englishmen are accustomed to require reasons for, what appears partial and unjust con duct, and never fail to raise their voices against undue harshness and severity. We cannot designate such con duct by gentler names. Might not the Magistrate lime deigned, without at all lowering the dignity of the Bench, to make some communication at least throngh the officers, and Five sonic reasons fir this partial eAclutoon. Thututh Mr; Roe has 800!. a-year paid out of the pockets of the public,. and .ruay enjoy the luxuries of life without tut atixi ous thought about 'the future, he ought to reincinbci that others are: not so fortunate. lie might have consi dered that the object of his resentment, perhaps, had a wife and family depending on him for subsistence, and that he was at least bound in common humanity to afford hint any °pinto unity of justifying his.conduct, or correcting any error lie might. have committed, before adopting a coursi , which Might plunge hint and his flintily into poverty.' But he appears in this instance to have had no more feeling than when he condemned the blind infirm woman of 70 to the House of Correction for being idle and disorderly. It is not at all imprObable, indeed, that some sorenes on this stdject may have roused his indignation, and made hint -pit c h qne Reporter in order, to deter the rest from gives trig to the public any instances of magisterial severity or inconsistency for the future. The whole transaction • at best shows 'a pitiful spirit. It is quite in keeping with that jealousy Of the press evinced by so many of those guilty Directors of.loint Stikk Companies and swindling sehetnes. They,shrink from the ga7,e of the public, because they are conscious that their conduct will not bear the test of truth. It.. is certainly singular that instances of expulsion should occur oftener at this office than at any other. The fault 'cannot lie-entirely with the Reporters, and we are happy to. think that two of the Magistrates at least have shown no tendency to this sort of persecution. —Morning Herald. 'Wc , cannot imagine why the Lord Chancellor should p r efer giving judgments his private room, instead of doing to,in the open Court. It car. be of little conse quence, tve should imagine, personally to his Lordship in what partieiklar,reotn or chair he sits, while to the public it is of inflOitg rOpstitittOCe that the business of public Corte should not be transferred to pr ivate parlours—u . . precedent which, in hands less pine than those of Lord Eldon, is eupable of being converted to very questionable purposes. Besides, the decisions of an Equity Judge, more especially When that Judge is a man so justly emi nent as Eldon, become part, as it. were, of the law of the laud, for the guidance of future suitors, solicitors, and Chancellors, and should therefore be delivered er cathedra ' openly and intelligibly before the wo rld. If his Lordshi p stays in his private room because be is deserted by the Counsel, that is precisely one of the reasons why, if we were be, we would not do so. Their deserting th;•Court aq of the causes in which they are concerned are &Toning!, is an open insult.to the i judge, and a gross de i,.ll 4if their' (hit to their' the world toitet; ic e m i nts; and we should like the piocemintrit of it c tt :S yt t bias imuedes and thwaas in its Pr°‘\ • ' i l in g s.

The amount, of the d o nationa to eit4rillible fund's, by penowl of distinction, to whose politics they are adverse; are made the subject of criticism ; and the donor has meted out to him a greater or less degree of reproba tion, according as the newspaper writer conceives the amount of the gift to fall more or ,les , short of that which should haVe been given. Nothing esti he more unjust or migencrons—nothing (lot be more prejudicial to the erase of Charity.

It is only by subscription to a common fund that the man of small income can take any share in the work of charity ; but the man of rank and wealth can i ,and gene rally does, exercise a much more effective benevolence in his own immediate sphere, and by means of his own unaided connections and resources. To judge of his An cities by his public subscriptions, is unfair ' and, even if the criterion were a just one, we know nothing that can justify the making such matters a theme of public discus sion.—New Times and Repreterdative.

BOW- STREET.—Ann GrUjith and S'aruh Bather were charged by Mm. Mary Hatch, of Great Queen -street, Long-acre, and Mary Brown, her lodger, with robbing them of three silver spoons, a necklace, and Various articles of wearing apparel to a considerable amount. It appeared that the prisoner Griffiths was hired by Mrs. Hatch to nurse a sick child, and that Barker was employed at the house at the same time as ehar-womaii.. MM. Hat& missed several articles front time to time, but never sus pected either of the prisoners, until her lodger, Mrs. Brown, complained that she also had lust , within a very few days, several matters, chiefly articles of dress. About' this time, however, the child of Mrs. Hatch died, and the mother was so grieved at the circumstance, that she did not immediately consider the necessity therUwas to inquire into the robbery, and the prisoners had thus a second opportunity of abusing their trust, by continuing their system of plunder. To such an extent, however, did they carry on their-nefario u s dealings, that Mrs. Hatch and her lodger, in a very short time, were nearly stripped of their wardrobes, and sus picion naturally falling on the prisoners, an , officer was sent for from this office, who, on searching them, found upwards of 100 pawnbrokers' duplicates on their persons, chiefly for goods stolen from the prosecutors. Several pawnbrokers came forward with property pledged with them from time to time by the prisoners. The majority, how ever, gave up the articles they took in, sooner than be obliged to undergo the trouble and inconvenience attendiug on a prosecution. Mrs. Hatch and Mrs. Brown were also, from =flees of hu manity, extremely unwilling' to have the prisoners committed for trial; but the Magistrate (Mr. Minaltull) said that the robbery was by far too extensive, and the circumstances under which it took place of too aggravated a description, the prisoners having taken the advantage of a domestic misfortune to pursue their work of plunder, for hint to take any other course than to 'commit them for trial, and accordingly Mrs. Hatch and Mrs. Brown, together with two of the pawnbrokers, were severally bound over to prosecute. - MARLBOROUGII-S'f 1 tEE --- Timothy. Donovan, John Glover, John Ilarris, john James, John Lancaster, John Brady, Thomas Baynes, and Michael Broohley, except the latter, well known to the police of the metropolis ai real and reputed thieves, were brought from St. Giles's watehhouse, and placed at the bar in one lot. Furzman, the watchhouse-keeper of St. Giles's parish, and a very active constable, stated, that the first seven prisoners he had long known, as, indeed, every one else. belonging to the police did, as part of a numerous gang of thieves that for a long ,time held their meetings at. the Cross Keys public-house, in Belton street, Long-acre.: but after great exertions. by the police in watching and reporting the house, they were banished from it,. but were immediately accommodated at the house of one Sullivan, who keeps the White Hart nublic house, in a court called the Coullard, in St. Oiles's. Repeated hut unavailing complaints have been made to this Sullivan, •of his harbouring those thieves. He has, ever since their expulsion from the Cross Keys, had them in numerous gauge regularly every - night at his house,• lie himself presiding amongst them as chairman of their club ; and almost every night there is a subscription amongst theta for the relief or the defence upon trial, of some robber or pickpocket. On Monday night Forman got information that there was to be a large congre gatiou of thieves at the White Hart, to get up a raffle for the benefit of a man now under sentence of death for burglary, and cards of invitation to the raffle were regularly printed, and sent round amongst all the thieves, stating the object of the meeting. They accordingly assetnbled with a number of, prostitutes and a fiddler, to have a dance after the raffle ; but amidst their jollification, Furzman rushed into the club-loom, where,. on this occasion too, the landlord was in the chair and, after a desperate resistance by Many of the thieves, he took these eight into custody, but about a dozen more at least escaped.. The greater number of these in cus tody have been tried and convicted, and two of them are not above a week out of prison, after undergoing their sentence. Brookley, the last mentioned, generally works very hard during the day with his brother, who is a fishmonger, but he is always at night to he seen in the company of thieves. • The Magistrate ordered all the prisoners to be committed for want of bail, and directed that an information should at once be laid against Sullivan's house for harbouring thieves, and that a re port should be made by the Vestry Clerk of the parish to the li censing Magistrate% that this house should be deprived of its licence Plank, the chief officer, called Mr. Conant's notice to the obser vation* in The Times of yesterday on this subject, during the in vestigation of this case, and the Magistrate after attentively perusing them, 41i:dated ;bat none mote just or applicable could be imule, au' this subject, mesa one which deserved attention. 11A.TTON4is ARDEN.---Yesterday an old man, named Joseph Toplor, together with his wife, and son, were charged with pre paring for circulation different denominations of spurious coins, purporting to be the genuine currency of the country. Messrs. Powell 81141 Chippendale attended on behalf of the Mint. The examination, which lasted upwards of three hours, was con ducted in private, but we learned that the prisoners were appre hended in the neighbourhood of Walworth, and form part of a gang who carry on the traffic to a great extent, embracing not merely the metropolis, but in confederation with smaller parties, who - rtravel all over the kingdom, distributing the issues of this - Mint. The execution of the die is so ingenious is topuside the, inspec tor of coins, and the proCess by which the metal is coloured, is de cidedly a - new one. The finished shilling or half-crown, - Would elude the most rigid examination, so far as external appearances go, but when compared with the genuine coin they are much lighter. The senior male prisoner is an old hand, who has eluded, the vigilance of the police, who have been in pursuit of - him for some time. hi hits apartment where he was taken, a considerable quantity of various coins in different stages of preparation were found, some iu process of colouring, and others rough front the mould • there were also found several bottles of muriatic and sulphu r i c acids, and some powder used in the new-invented method of whitening the metal, which gives a durability of colour hitherto unattainable. The prisoners made no defence, and were fully committed for trial, on the capital charge, at the next Surrey assizes. EXECUTION OF W.'MILLS AND T. GARDINEII. —These two victims to the offended laws of their country termi nated their mortal career sport the scaffold, on Saturday, as we intimated in our last. Their behaviour, up to the fatal moment, was strictly in unison with that contrition end repentance which they had manifested from the time of condemnation, en interval which they devoted almost exclusively to the duties of religion. They made a full confession of their crimes, acknowledged the justice of the fate they were about' to undergo, and, as the best proof of the proper state to which they had subdued their minds, repeatedly expressed their entire forgiveness. of the accomplice whose testimony had led to their conviction. With Mills peril.- cdtarly the latter feeling was predominant, and he frequently inti, mated kwish to have a friendly interview with hie !Avatar before he sneered. This, however, did not take place, as Thomas Mills could not be induced again to face his miserable , brother and asso ciate. On the day previous to his execution, Mills took a final, leave of his wretched parents. The old man was dreadfully af fected, but the mother did not manifest a similar degree of feeling. On Saturday morning both culprits attended. in the chapel, where, after the usual service, the sacrament . was administered to them. They afterwards again made confession of their offences, and about half-pest twelve o'clock were ushered to the fatal beam, where their earthly takings were terminated in the presence of so int, ' Meuse concourse of spectators. After hanging the usual nibs, tie bodies were taken down, and delivered to their friends for inter - anent.— Gloucester Journal. IRE IN AN kE4-1011sE I—A few days ago, about ten o'clock in the morning, a little alarm, not unaccompanied with some mirth, produced by occasional efforts at humble wit, preluded in the neighbourhood of Grove-street, Bath, under neath part of which is the ice-house of Mr. J. Tolley, of Milsom street. An old woman, who hid observed some smoke issue from the ice-house door, gravely reported that "the people had been there wi' a lighted candl e a'ter ice, and they dropped, a spark and be t Ore ta't." The former part of the report appears to have been correct or ; p a rest nd rv it in t g coidd seem that " the people" had dropped th e candle on the st raw , l,y whic h the ice is surrounded fur the pur pose; but there having been in the house only two, cwt. of straw, and about ten tints of ice, which on every approach of its rival element assumed its original state, the odih o n f lo, W i a n t g er mu ag r a i l i nst fire w ere t on c onsiderable to allow o f t h e h itter ' s progress.

MEUM, TUUM, RT SUUM, OR EVERY MAN Iris owN.--The Archbishop of Tuam embarked at Liverpool for Dublin, last week, in the St. George steam packet. It is rumoured, but we do not pledge ourselves to the fact, that there was on board the same vessel a poor ragged Irishman, who, like malty of his countrymen, had a smattering of Latin, which he turned to rather knavish' account, by penning the fol lowing significant doggerel, addressed to the Arch bishop. Whether th e latter replied to Pat we have not yet ascertained. " If each man had Suum, You would not have Timm I' But I should get Meow, And sing a Te Daum." Capt.

(From the London New Price Cut Tod of Tuesday.) IR Comx.—The transactions in Coffee last week were on en ex tensive scale, the quantity of St. Domingo by private contract and disposed of by public sale, was nearly 3,000 bags, chiefly at 50s. • for the good ordinal* ; Brazil sold at 475. ; Jamaica Coffee was steady at the 'late quotations ; the Demerara and Berbice Sold • uncommonly high, good ordinary at 56s a 58s ; sine ordinary, 62s a 665. The two public sales this forenoon, consisting of 162 casks, and 233 bags Coffee, went off steadily ; there was not the slightest variation in the prices. SUGAR.—The great demand for Muscovades this week, and the consequent advance of the prices, which we then noticed, 04"" casioned the buyers to pause; the market prices were, hovieverf fully supported, but there was a great languor in the trade, and the purchases did not average 1,000 hhds per day, as on the pre vious week, The Market to-day has been without briskness, but 800 bhds have been sold at very full prices; several holders are asking an advance. The briskness in the Refined Market 'on Tuesday last was not supported ; towards the close of the week the request became languid,. purchases could he made on rather lower terms. Brown Lumps were offered freely at 775; the whole sale Grocers evin c ed no disposition to purchase fur the home can- ' sumption ; Molasses selling at 279.

The Market this forenoon is very quiet, but not lower ; Lumps 771- Molasses 275. RUM, BR ANIIY, and ROLL ANDS. prices of Rum hare lately advanced about 6d. per gallon, chiefly on account of the failure of the Spring Corn in this country, and the, certainty of English Spirit advancing ; the Stock is also about 9,000 casks. less than last year ; in addition to these reasons for an, advance, Government suddenly came forward with a contract for 1,600 puncheons, and so early a day as Thursday next being filed for the contract, occasioned on Saturday morning an uncommon see. cation ; proof Leeward., which on Saturday had advanced to 2s. 2d., was held at 2s. 4d. Some parcels of Leewards, which on Friday had been purchased at 2s. 3d. sold at 2a. 54. ; one parcel of Leewards 3 over, sold also at 2s. 5d.; these were the ciely transactions, though numberless dire about the advance we *re stated were refused, and, as the trade have no stock adequate to the contract, it was generally believed it would go off at a high price ; previous to this advance, tine Jamaica. had sold at Ss, tid• and for one pitied, fine, 3s. 9d. was offered end refiteed. Brandy Market was also agitated by the answer from Govern went to the petition praying that all Brandies old landed should be re' paged,. and payment of the duty only to apply to the quantity by the new guage, it was granted for Brandies bonded one year ; but an application by parties showing that some parcels would be within the year next week, the following one, and so on, it was understood the privilege would be granted on all Brandies now ill the Docks ; the former answer was official, the latter is only an understanding; but, from what passed, the p ar ticulars of whi ch are before us, there is little doubt on the subject. O ld B ran dies, which were selling at 2s. 9d. a 2s. 101 sold at 2s. 11d. a 3s. ; the others in proportion. Geneva was without any variation. At the close of the Market no Leewards offered under is. 44., and faw parcels at that price; Scotch and English Malt Spirit, 101. cash ; Irish, no seller..
